Chapter 231: "The Ruins of Kunlun"

Last time, I mentioned that during the "ten-day period", the carpenter and the apprentice Zhu Youxiao became women at the same time, and the baby taught the female apprentice the "witch art" of collecting yang and supplementing yin.

"Hehe, the ten-day period has arrived, and your brother and Zhang Sanfeng are about to come here to meet." After the rising sun, the baby and a certain imperial concubine became their own men at the same time, after all, men and women who have practiced "Yin and Yang Rotation Creation Gong" can be freely transformed between day and night, so it seems that the exercises are weird!

"Thankfully, it's finally free! Otherwise, the apprentice will be tossed by the three junior sisters and almost killed! Zhu Youxiao glanced at the three "little fairies" sitting in the air opposite with a frightened face, and suddenly found that the woman was a "bottomless pit", and she couldn't fill it no matter what.

"Hey, kid, stop complaining. Lao Tzu worked hard to give birth to three such beautiful daughters, and pulled them up with a handful of snot and tears, and gave them to you for free to enjoy, and you didn't thank Lao Tzu, but instead complained, what is the reason? Could it be that Master, I will still harm you, apprentice? ”

"Uh...... In vain did not dare. Zhu Youxiao saw Cui Mujiang's displeasure, so he quickly got up and said, "The vain lost his words." The sisters are very well-behaved! ”

"Haha, boy, don't try to fool Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu is your master! The carpenter suddenly sneered: "That's it, when you have sex with your junior sisters in the future, if they are disobedient and take turns raping you and forcibly collecting yang to supplement yin, you will forcibly run the "Yin and Yang Rotation Creation Gong" to fuse them!" ”

"Huh? This...... I'm afraid that's not right, right? Zhu Youxiao was shocked when he heard this: "After all, the junior sisters are your 'heart meat', how can they be lost their freedom?" ”

"Daddy, are you confused? If our sisters are integrated into the body by the senior brother, they will not be able to accompany you and your mother day and night! Whining. ”

"Hmph, dead girl! Are you embarrassed to complain to Lao Tzu? Who told you not to listen to Lao Tzu? The carpenter scolded: "What do you mean by 'three from four virtues'? ”

'What?' Three from four virtues'? Isn't it 'at home to the father, marriage to the husband, husband to death'? That's the dogma of mortal women, and it shouldn't have anything to do with us 'cultivators', right? After hearing this, the third daughter immediately felt that the situation was not good, after all, she had heard about it when she was in the government office of the "Guangnan West Road Chengxuan Political Envoy Division".

"Hmph, who said it doesn't matter?" The carpenter deliberately scolded with a tiger face: "Lao Tzu is your father!" Your brother is your husband, remember? ”

"Oh, got it." The third daughter was frightened, and quickly turned around and apologized to Zhu Youxiao, saying that she would never dare to abuse him again in the future. This flattered Zhu Youxiao, after all, these three junior sisters are not easy to get along, but this time with the support of the master, there is finally no need to be afraid.

"Uh...... The junior sisters laughed, they are all a family, and they don't enter the door. What's more, there are still 'bedside fights and bedside fights' between husband and wife, hehe. ”

"Giggles, 'bedside fights and 'bedside fights'? Senior brother, you're too funny, aren't you? There are no wooden beds, only stone beds. The three young ladies were amused by the big man opposite, so they said excitedly: "Or, with your skills as the 'carpenter emperor' back then, you can build a wooden bed with your own hands?" Cluck. ”

"Uh...... This one...... What ......" Before Zhu Youxiao, who was embarrassed, continued to respond, he heard the carpenter laugh: "Don't make trouble, the people who should come will be here soon, give Lao Tzu a serious point!" As soon as the words fell, Zhu Youxiao immediately became energetic, after all, there is a master "Shang Fang Sword", who else is he afraid of?

After a few breaths, I saw twenty rays of light of various colors falling from the sky, just right to drill into the entrance of the "Stone Flower Cave". When he appeared, it turned out to be Zhu Youzhen and his concubines, the nine young daughters of the carpenter and Zhang Sanfeng. I saw that everyone stepped forward one after another to salute and said, "I've seen my father/father-in-law/lord of the country!" ”

"Excuse me! It's good to come. The carpenter nodded and said, "The ten-day period has arrived, it's time to go to the 'Kunlun Ruins', but the cause and effect are over, go!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the carpenter took the lead, turning into a ray of light and heading straight to the sky, heading towards the west. At the same time, Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youzhen, Zhang Sanfeng, and the twelve female sisters also took advantage of the light, flew out of the cave and went straight to the sky, following behind the carpenter, their hearts full of excitement.

"Kunlun Ruins" is also "Kunlun Ruins", in the folklore of later generations, generally refers to "Kunlun Mountain", also known as "Kunlun Hill" or "Jade Mountain".

There is a "Qilin Cliff" on "Kunlun Mountain", which is the mortal "dojo" of one of the "Three Qings" and "Yuxu Yuan Shi Tianzun", which is called "Yuxu Palace" in ancient times, that is, "Kailash Peak".

In Chinese Taoist culture, "Kunlun Mountain" is known as the "ancestor of ten thousand mountains", is the "sacred mountain" in ancient Chinese mythology, and is regarded as the "immortal mountain" where the gods live by "Taoism". "Kunlun Mountain" belongs to the large mountain system in central Asia, which is also the backbone of the mountain system in western China, and is also one of the birthplaces of ancient Chinese mythology.

"Kunlun Mountains" from the east of the Pamir Plateau in the west, across Xinjiang, Tibet, and extend to Qinghai Province, with a total length of about 2,500 kilometers, an average altitude of 5,500 meters to 6,000 meters, a width of 130 kilometers to 200 kilometers, narrow in the west and wide in the east, and a total area of more than 500,000 square kilometers!

In ancient Chinese geographical works such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Yu Gong" and "Notes on the Book of Water", "Kunlun Mountain" is mentioned more than a few times, and most of the descriptions are magical, such as it is "the lower capital of the Emperor of Heaven", with a radius of 800 miles and a height of 70,000 feet. ”

In many ancient books, it is said that there is a "Yao Pond" of the "Queen Mother of the West", and there are "Yao grass" and "fairy trees" with "pearls" and "beautiful jade" growing everywhere.

Regarding the title of "Queen Mother of the West", it was first seen in the ancient book "Classic of Mountains and Seas", because of the "Kunlun Hill" where she lives, it is called the "Queen Mother of the West". "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness of the West": "The Hill of Kunlun at the Cave of the Queen Mother of the West". Therefore, for thousands of years, "Kunlun Mountain" has left many beautiful legends and incomprehensible mysteries, which make people yearn for it.

Legend has it that in ancient times, this was the birthplace of the "Kunlun School" of "Xuanmen Taoism", that is, "Interpretation of Teaching". Ancient mythology believes that the "immortals" living in the "Kunlun Mountain" are the "Queen Mother of the West", that is, the "Golden Mother Yuanjun", and the "head of the female immortals" of "Xuanmen Taoism".

According to the legend, the "Queen Mother of the West" has a leopard body with a human head, served by two blue birds, and is the "Taoist god", and has a very high status in Taoism. Therefore, the "King Mu of Zhou's Western Expedition" is actually going to Yaochi to meet the Queen Mother.

"Kunlun Mountain" has attracted Buddhism and Taoists to build temples and temples here since ancient times, cultivate self-cultivation, and preach scriptures. Far away in the Han and Tang dynasties, there were many temples here, and the incense was continuous. In the Song and Yuan dynasties, the "Quanzhen School" of the flourishing "Xuanmen Taoism" was the founder Wang Chongyang, who together with his seven disciples selected this place as the "Cave Heaven Blessed Land" of the founding school, as the "Taoist Ancestral Garden", and left many fascinating "Taoist relics".

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, "Kunlun Mountain" was the location of the "Mixed Yuan Dojo" of "Xuanmen Taoism". But then it was gradually isolated from the outside world for various reasons.

But among the people, there are other sayings about the "ruins of Kunlun". There is a book in traditional Chinese culture that has an important position - "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which is an ancient book in China that describes the ancient legends, in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the legendary "Queen Mother of the West" and "Kunlun" have an inseparable connection.

Because the "Queen Mother of the West" lives in "Kunlunxu". It is said that "Kunlun Ruins" is a very mysterious mountain, namely "Kailash Peak", known as "the source of the Chinese dragon vein", is the origin of various myths and legends, and in folklore, the heavenly realm stands on the peak, there is a teleportation channel to the other world.

For thousands of years, the body of the "Kunlun Ruins" has always been shrouded in layers of fog, and there have been countless emperors in history who have tried to find its existence, but most of them have been in vain, because the "Mount Kailash" not only has a "huge pyramid" from prehistoric civilizations, but also can speed up the flow of time a hundred times.

Because "god" is the "spiritual sustenance" or "totem worship" created by "man". Therefore, "faith" also spreads in the footsteps of people.

At that time, the belief record of the "Queen Mother of the West" could be easily found in many documents of the pre-Qin period. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with the spread of the "Biography of Mu Tianzi", the "Kunlun Ruins" of the "Western Queen Mother" began to continue to move westward, to the "Western Regions of Xinjiang" and even the "Kyrgyz Steppe" of Central Asia.

Later, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to "hollow out the Western Regions", people's understanding of the western territory also expanded a lot. Later, with the development of the "Silk Road", it brought the culture and specialties of the Far West to the Central Plains. As a result, the folk of the Western Han Dynasty also began the belief in the "Queen Mother of the West".

This belief is known as "Chuan Xi Queen Mother Chip". Although this kind of activity was expressly prohibited in the Western Han Dynasty, because it was an illegal act that endangered national security. However, in the period of "Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han", Wang Mang, as the monarch of the "new dynasty", interpreted this activity as a means for him to gain the legitimacy of the usurpation of the Han.

At the same time, Wang Mang wantonly forged the "Ruiying Book of Prophecies", and many stone tablets with the portrait of the "Queen Mother of the West" appeared, so that the "Queen Mother of the West" was officially recognized.

The Western Han Dynasty historian Sima Qian's "Historical Records: The Biography of Dawan Lie" said: "Tiaozhi (Antioch City) is thousands of miles west of Anxi (Iran), bordering the West Sea...... The Elders of Rest rumored that Tiaozhi (the capital of the Seleucid Kingdom) had weak water and the Queen Mother of the West, but did not taste it. "The Seleucid kingdom in later Asia Minor.

There are usually two theories about the "striped branches", one is that the "striped branches" are Antioch, the capital of the "Seleucid Kingdom" established by his subordinate Seleucus after the collapse of the "Macedonian Alexander Empire" on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, or its outer port "Seleucia". There is also a theory that the "branches" are the coast of the Persian Gulf.

In fact, Zhang Qian, the envoys of the Han Dynasty, did not reach the "Tiaozhi", because at that time the Roman Empire was at war with the Persian "Empire of Rest", and the Persians did not want to see the Han Dynasty people directly trade silk and gold with the Romans, but only listened to what the people from the West said, so it was not believable.

However, most people believe that the "ruins of Kunlun" could not have escaped abroad, especially to the Mediterranean coast in the west. Therefore, people generally believe that the "ruins of Kunlun" are in the "Western Regions of Xinjiang", such as "the top of the Tianshan Mountains", because there is a "Tianshan Tianchi" here.

According to ancient legends, "Tianshan Tianchi" is "Yao Pond", a place where the "Queen Mother of the West" dresses up, and a place where the "Pan Tao Conference" is held.

Secondly, many people believe that the "Kunlun Ruins" are the "Taklamakan Desert", because there are often "mirages" in it, which seems to be a bit subversive of people's ideas.

However, this is a conclusion that has always been verified by some people, for example, the later historian Jian Bozan said in the "Outline of Chinese History": "The state of the Western Queen Mother is on the top of the quicksand, the void of Kunlun, and the Tarim Basin today." ”

And Jin Hui also said: "The ruins of Kunlun are the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang...... When Lao Tzu went to Hu, he sent a letter to Guguan in the west and 'waded through the quicksand, passing through the West Queen Mother Country' in the 'quicksand' was the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang. Therefore, the main mountain of 'Kunlun Mountain' and the 'Mother Kingdom of the Western Prince' are both in Xinjiang in the Western Regions. ”

Of course, some people believe that the "Kunlun Ruins" are the current "Karakoram Mountains", after all, the "Kailash Peak" is not far away. This statement seems to be the most convincing. In the past, this place was not actually called "Kunlun Mountain", but "South Mountain", or was called "Green Ridge" because of the "wild onions" growing everywhere.

It wasn't until Zhang Qian returned to the dynasty to make a debriefing report that he mentioned that "Nanshan is rich in jade", and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought about it and felt that it was not very similar to the "Kunlun Mountain" recorded in the ancient book "Classic of Mountains and Seas"? Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty simply called this place "Kunlun Mountain". That's why the name has been used to this day.

Finally, no matter where the "Kunlun Ruins" of the "Queen Mother of the West" are? However, the Central Plains Dynasty's cognition of the western frontier increased with the deepening and expansion of its cognition of the whole world. Therefore, the changes in Xinjiang in the Western Regions are also such a process, and it is normal to call it "Nanshan" or "Kunlun Ruins" in the past.

However, the place where the carpenter and others were going was near the "Karakoram Mountain" in the later generations, where there was a "gate of enchantment", which was located on the "Mount Kailash".
